how to test SRM

[dingding]

it seems SRM is difficult to test, i don't have two VMware certified storage array.

i have two storage virtualized by Datacore SANmelody, it has replication function, but i don't know whether vmware support(technically) run SRM on them?

Hello,

When you virtualize the storage with Datacore, it essentially becomes the primary storage as far as ESX / VC / SRM are concerned. Datacore is not supported storage / replication for SRM at this time.

For the current list of supported storage and replication for SRM, please see the compatibility guide at .

Thanks,

Jay

If your looking for a recognised storage vendor to test SRM with - you could do no wrong by looking at Lefthand Networks VSA. It's a virtual appliiance, fully fledge iSCSI SAN. You can download it for free and evaluate it for 30-days. It's how I got started with SRM, and it heavily dominates the 1st draft of my new book on SRM. I'm hoping to make the book more "storage neutral" before it is released...
